Wait, what? I haven't heard anything from some friends I know over there and haven't seen anything on the news about it. Hope everybody is ok.

Definitely like the suspension upgrade and the wheel/tire combo.

It was last Friday during the Friday Prayer, a suicide bomber blew himself in a Shee'a mosque. 27 dead and more than 200 injured. Daesh claimed responsibility for the act. They caught all who were involved with them.
On another note, I still didn't try the new set up. Hopefully tomorrow the truck will be delivered and give a feedback. But for a starter, Cons for Foxshox, they didn't provide with the kit that did cost over $3K any kind of mount for the rear shocks reservoirs!
Luckily, the shop is also a teraflex (for Jeep) dealer so they used the mounts of a teraflex kit which fits perfectly

Did you have to special order the shocks with remote reservoirs? I know the oem series shocks from them are piggyback and if they are like icon, when I had them switch the shocks to remote reservoir shocks they told my I was on my own to find a way to mount them because they never have done it before.

Well it was a special order in matter of DSC Adjuster, but the kit is the same as the one that comes with the BDS lift.

Well..
Ive been hitting speed bumps and potholes like no tomorrow.. The ride is great, smooth, delicate. Speed bumps do not alter the truck. Its been only a street driving so far, still i have to try it off road. But i might take it back to the shop to lower the nose. Still they asked me to use it for a while and bring it back next week.

That looks sweet man! The Fox shocks with reservoirs are insane, a pretty penny but well worth the price. I plan on picking up some in the future as well, just have to save up the coin. lol.

Are you still running lift blocks?

Damn that came out really clean. I had no idea that bds does remote reservoirs in the rear. And here I thought I was being all unique with my rear icon setup lol.

They sure cost a lot but worth every penny
Yes I still run the rear lift blocks, but for the front the spacer is gone, its a direct bolt on to the LCA

Actually BDS do not offer the rear reservoirs, they offer the 2.0s, Mine are 2.5 with DSC
I love Icon suspension, I used to have them on my previous SUV. Nice set up u got there and still its Unique!
